I too saw the car at the weekend and spent quite some time with the 2 chaps from Notar discussing just these issues. The decision to exhibit was taken quite recently it seems and would explain a lot of the finish issues. The body finish is authentic ‘60s mould surfaces! and is due to be fully refinished. The thickening of the bodyshell is to allow an effective weather seal around the doors and increase the overall strength and sound deadening of the bodyshell as Notar are marketing the car as a useable, effective road car rather than just a track day special. The lack of glass is apparently down to the supplier moulding the glass incorrectly although there was mention that it could be due to differences across cars as the glass company’s pattern is it seems from another car. The rear wheels suffered from no driveshafts to locate them giving rise to the excessive camber seen! plus looking closely I could see one of the toe links had broken away. I was quoted a different price, 50K Euro or $80K for a fully built and trimmed car ready for SVA approval in the UK.
I have no link to these people other than having followed their progress closely over the last year or so, hence the ‘leaving for the show’ scoop!! This car is due to be delivered in the next month or so I was told and I have been promised some more images and the lure of an ‘open day’ at the Italian build shop when finished. I wish them good luck.
